Underemployed

I've watched the whole season of Underemployed and I Loved it! Rarely do you like all the characters in a series but in Underemployed they are all really likable but also flawed like in real people. It's a bit like a modern day 'Friends' but better - it's funny and cool but with real story lines that actually touch upon subjects that affect real people today - money worries, employment worries, sexuality etc. There are some great actors in it too. I was really surprised by how good and how addictive Underemployed was, as MTV usually only has really bad reality shows on it, so I am really hoping they see sense and this show gets a second season!

This series is about a group of very beautiful people (!) who have absolutely no reason to be friends. The actors are decent but the character development is extremely bad. All the characters are very shallow, and the scrip lucks any kind of creativity. The situations that the "friends" get into are scripted terribly, and things happen out of the blue with the lame excuse of "youth". "Youth" is not an excuse for poor writing though, and just using very cute faces is not enough to make a good show. I am curious to see if this show will be on air for much longer. I hope that MTV will spend more for writers in the future.

This in first look may seem to be a cliché show about young friends trying to put together a life in Chicago... but once you start following subsequent episodes, believe me.. it's kinda fun. It reminds us in our mundane lives, that how friendships and true bondings are important to support one another and go through good and not so good times and circumstances.It's a youthful and enthusiastic show, which gives us a surprisingly refreshing view and a positive outlook towards, people, friendships, relations and lives all together, with keeping the background quiet realistic in today's modern American big city life. A good show indeed... of course for those who get the hang of it...!

I watched this show one late night not really knowing what to expect... Then I found that I love this show!! It's about dreams not always coming true but people making the best of what they have.5 friends trying to live their life in New York and make something of themselves might sound a bit cliché to most but I found this show very different from the rest and now i'm hopelessly addicted! Most people can actually connect with this show because it's very true and real that dreams almost never come true. And you have to work hard in life which is what this show is all about. Especially in New York where everyone is just a little fish in a big pond which is what they are trying to relate to this series.

This show is pretty bad. The story lines seem pretty flimsy, the humour is mostly cringe worthy, and all the characters are irrational and unrealistic. It is a shame, because most of the actors are hot (with the exception of Lou) and the acting itself isn't terrible.

This could be a decent show, but as it stands it just seems like yet another desperate attempt by MTV to appeal to us 20-somethings feeling sorry for ourselves because 'lifes so hard'. It certainly falls short of that for me, but I can see it being a hit with kids who are fresh out of high school and expecting life to be all 'friends forever' and are gullible enough to believe that two adults and a baby can afford a 2 bedroom loft apartment on 1 salary.

I'm really surprised this crap came from the same person who produced Six Feet Under, because comparatively, this is a load of (not totally unwatchable, but still stinky) garbage.
